A couple of weeks I'd never heard of The Lovely Eggs (Lancaster, England). "Eggistentialism" is the 7th full length album from this duo and the 3rd to feature artwork from Casey Raymond and production from Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips).
The cast of collaborators over their years of existence is frankly mind-boggling: Ian Mackaye, Gruff Rhys, Cate LeBon, and Jad Fair (many of these collabration are on their YouTube series, Eggs TV - Casey Raymond also worked with them on this).
While the band releases most of their work on their own label, they did release their debut LP on Happy Happy Birthday To Me. The band consists of Holly Ross (formerly of 1990s band Angelica) and David Blackwell (3D Tanx).
It's pretty hard to find comparisons to this. At times I would say Art Brut and Super Furry Animals, at others it feels like the attitude and sneer of Sleaford Mods (listen to other releases) - but really the music is all over the place and fairly uncategorizable.
